I do have auto-raise-screen set to nil and it does do what I want
UNTIL I do a cut and paste or manually set the point in a buffer by
using the left button. From then on, I am stuck with click-to-focus,
which I DESPISE :-(

Is this a bug or a feature? This is Epoch version 3.2.2.

I thought I should add my contribution to auto-raise issue. I have
redefined the select-screen function to read the auto-raise variable
as nil, t, 0, or 1. A value of t will auto-raise the screen and the
minibuffer. A value of 1 will only auto-raise the minibuffer. Since I
use twm and gwm as my window managers I leave window auto-raising to
them. If I want auto-raising I can turn it on and off at the window
manager level, while still retaining auto-raise control for the
minibuffer. This I can have some epoch windows auto-raise and some
not, all in the same epoch session. 

Here is the new select-screen, throw it in your .emacs <- epoch
startup.
